Episode description

Bekah started with a poignant story of how the birth of her 4th child was a traumatic event that threw her into depression, PTSD, and questioning her place in the world. We then talked about her discovery of the FreeCodeCamp, and how she ended up saying, "I'm done" with her first career. We then discussed the role of communities in finding her first job and how COVID led to the creation of Virtual Coffee. We spoke extensively about Virtual Coffee and what makes it the inclusive place many developers cherish.
